“When the Hudson’s Bay Company launched it’s newly “refreshed” The Room this year, along came with it the renovations of HBC’s Blanket Coat. Canadian designers such as Comrags, Pink Tartan, Jeremy Laing and Smythe gave their modern touches to the old classic.”
I love the Smythe short swing-coat on the left. Click here to see it from the front.
Unfortunately, the coats are only for our viewing pleasure and will not actually be sold on the retail market, as far as I know. I keep checking the HBC Store hoping to see it for sale.
Updated to add: Click here to see the coat on Rachel Blison on Feb 23rd in Vancouver. (via ONDT) FT’s Jeanne Beker has been spotted wearing the coat as well. I am officially jealous.
